Svantaggi
-Fake positivity campaigns: After honest reviews like this one, leadership pressures current employees to flood Glassdoor with fake 5-star reviews to bury negative feedback. They know most people won’t scroll through several pages of reviews, so they manipulate their ratings to appear much better than the reality. -Micromanagement and outdated thinking: The COO micromanages everything while lacking basic skills like sending a calendar invite with a Zoom link, yet she insists on being included in everything and giving feedback she’s unqualified to provide. -Boundaries are frowned upon: Creating healthy work-life boundaries is seen as a lack of commitment, and employees who try to advocate for themselves are often met with resistance or dismissed as not being “team players". -Untrained project managers: Many project managers lack proper onboarding and guidance, resulting in messy accounts. Workers often stay late to fix issues caused by poor management, adding unnecessary stress to their roles. -No HR department: The COO has also taken on the role of “HR” with no training or qualifications. Her controlling nature makes it impossible to give company feedback, and the lack of a proper HR department ensures that workers have no safe avenue to report concerns or advocate for change. When I tried to address my concerns during my exit, they were dismissed outright. -Unbalanced hierarchy: Vice President titles are handed out to employees under 30 with little experience, devaluing the title itself. Meanwhile, the lack of structure makes younger employees feel overworked. -Chaotic hiring and retention practices: Turnover is alarmingly high at this place. Leadership is constantly interviewing candidates for roles that aren’t even open. New hires ( typically young and inexperienced ) are thrown into the deep end without proper training. Retention tactics are manipulative, with health insurance only starting after three months and 401( k ) matching only available after three years. These policies seem designed to lock employees into staying longer rather than genuinely investing in their well-being.
